THE REPUBLICAN party lost New
York. Some explanation must be
had to account for this. The reason
is by some alleged to have been that
the National Administration massed
all its influence and exhausted all its
energy to carry the Empire State.
There ia no proof OF this-not a scin-
tilla of evidence on which to base the
assertion. But that does not matter.
Time was when the National Admin
istration bent its energy from that resi-
dent in the mind of the head of the
Nation to the last mail carrier in the
Postoffice, and to the poorest paid
porter in the Custom House, on the
side of the dominant party. The chief
Executi of the Nation used to leave
the National Capital, to HE him
home to his brownstone mansion in
Gotham, and woik at practical poll
tics" "until the sun went down on
the day Of election" Nor did he wait
until that day to exhaust his energies
in this behalf. He went many days
before that on which the election was
to take place, and he staid by the
battle, doing right yeomanlike ser
vices in all ways for the good cause.
Will some one kindly tell us what the
present Administration did last
Tuesday, or at any time, in
the way of exhausting its ener-
gies to carry New York :?
The Custom House and all other Fed
eral offices were held open all day
long in order that public affairs should
not be neglected, and the employees
had to vote as best they could like
other people did. Whose energies
did this exhaust? The fact seems to
be plain to any one who will look at
it impartially, that New York is a
Democratic State whenever the peo-
ple are allowed to vote freely and
fairly. Jesse Grant, in San Francisco
the other day, told a newspaper re-
porter that the reason why his brother
Fred. was defeated, was because they
cast too many votes against him
That is all there is in it.

How Smart Woman Reformed Her In

Harry Stoughton was II good fellow,
as the world goes, but he had one fall
ing. His easily besetting sin was an
overwening partiality Tor the wine
cup, and it would occasionally happen
that when he came home he presented
an appearance quite incoherent. His
long-suffering wife had wept and
prayed, with no other result than q
short period of abstention on Harry's
part. In month. perhaps in week.
he would again fall into his old ways
and again come home with his epider-

he was farther over the bay than usual.
His wife lost her temper and severely
upbraided him. Harry stood it meek

Mary stopped Immediately. Not an
other word did she say.
At breakfast next morning she pre-
sided at the table. as usual, but not
word passed her lips. At the cven-

for several days. She was as dumb as

After weeks time Harry came

pains all over his body. He was a
sick man. But Mary didn't see it; or
il she did. she said nothing. He
fingered below stairs as long as he
could stand it, in hopes that sha
would suggest something to alleviate
his sufferings. OF that his helpmate
would at least ask him how he felt.
But not word parted her lips. He
dragged himself 10 his bed. He lay
there in agony for fifteen or twenty
minutes. 1t was beyond his power of
endurance.

only open your mouth once more II
you'll only speak one little word to

Mary opened her lips. She asked
him about his pains. She brought hot

vlaelNlA's CAPITOL.
Tho Oldest and Most Famous State House
In the Union. -


Tho Oldest and Most Famous state House
IN the Union.
The State capitol at Richmond. Va.
is the oldest building Of the kind iD
America sill used for its original pur-
pose. II was built under the personal
supervision of Thomas jefferson, and
is one of the historic buildings of tho
country. Il stands upon command
ing hill and is surrounded by q beau-
tiful grove, with well-kept walks, beau
tiful with statuary and monuments.
Facing the capitol is the Governors
mansion. To the right Of the capitol
is. doubtless. the most magnificent and
costly group of statuary In the Union.
Surmounting huge slar-shaped ped
cstal Of Virginia's granite is Thomas
Crawford's famous equestrian statue
Of Washington; and around it on
each of the five points Of the star
are cfligios of the Old Dominion's
most celebrated ante bellum soldiers
and statesmen. There are Patrick
Henry, tho orator, Virgina's first
Governor; Thomas Jefferson; Governor
Thomas Nelson, who fired upon his
own residence at tho bombardment
of Yorktown; Andrew Lewis, the In
dian fighter. and John Marshall. long
Chief Justice of the United States. In
side the building we find moro pieces
of statuary--the most celebrated of
which is Houdon's Washington--''a "a
fac simile," Lafayette pronounced it.
The mask of the statue was taken ten
years before the Presidents death and
the statue cast in Paris. There is also
y marble statue of Henry Clay, pre-
sented to Virginia by the ladies of
Kentucky. his adopted State. 1t will
bo remembered that his birthplace.
1.-The Slashes," is only about eight
miles from Richmond. Besides the
statues in the rotunda of the building.
there are many valuable paintings of
colon ial and revolutionary celebrities,
rs well rs those of later ti:Aes. The
majority of the paintings are the
originals, and in r,any instances the
only ones in existence. There
are perhaps, the portraits Of
more great men hung on
these walls, men who have made u
name in National history, than any
other State can boast. There are
original portraits of Washington.
Madison. Monroe, Tyler, Harrison,
Marshall, Jackson, Johnson. the Lees
and host of others whose names
light up many page of history. The
old capital has been the scene of much
that is greatest in the history Of Vir-
ginia and the South. In the hall of
the House of Delegates the trial Of
Aaron Burr, the brilliant New Yorker,
was held, John Marshall being the
Judge, and the erratic John Randolph
Of Roanoke the foreman of the jury.
Grouped irregularly around the his
torical Capitol square are the build
ings once occupied by the various de-
partments of the Confederacy and the
residences of the members of its
cabinet. All of them are now used
rs hotels, stores or private residences.
with the exception of the President 8
mansion. which was purchased by
the Municipal Government and is used

How camphor is Made.

Camphor is made in Japan in this
way. After a tree is felled to the earth
it is cut into chips, which are laid in u
tub or large iron pot partially filled
with water, and placed over aslow fire.
Through holes in the bottom Of the tub
steam slowly rises. and heating the
chips generates oil and caMphor. OF
course. the tub with the chips has
closely fitting cover. From this cover
a bamboo pipe leads to u succession Of
other tubs with bamboo connection.
and The last Ut these tnhs IL divided
into two compartments, one above the
other, tbs dividing door being per-
foratod with small holes to allow tho
water and oil to pass TO tho lower COM

A New Species Of Silk.

A now species of silk, the cultivation
of which has been undertaken in the
State Ut Yucatan, is described at length
by the ,Economisia Mericano. That
journal says that It is the product Of
the wild silk-worm Bombyx Psydii,
which is closely allied to the do
mestic silk-worm, and that the silk on
the cocoons is elastic and of an execl-
lent quality. though rather uncertain in
color, varying from white 70 pale brown.

UMBRELLA MAKING.
How the Different Parts Of These Useful
se Articies Arc Put Together.

How the Different Pnrts Of These Usefui
E Articiss Arc Put Together.
Notwithstanding the constant demand
for umbrellas, comparatively few Speo-
pie really know how they are made.
The so-called umbrella manufacturer
does little more than put the different
parts of the umbrella together. He buys
the sticks, the caps, the ferrules and
the steels ready made. The covering
he buys by the piece, and it is the cut
ting and fitting of the covering which
constitutes his chief claim to the title Of
manufacturer.
The cloth is first hemmed; that is, the
edges are bound, usually with thin
silk cord. The cloth is then given to
the cutter. who separates it into tri-
angular pieces. Much care is used in
cutting the cloth, and for his guidance
the cutter employs triangular tool
very much like q carpenters compass.
the size Of which can be varied to suit
the demands Of the about-to-be um-
hella- The trianglos of cloth are then
sewed together by machinery and
stretched over and tied upon the frame.
The caps and ferrules are fitted upon
the sticks and the umbrella is then
ready to protect unfortunate humanity
from the dew-drops Of Heaven or the
drizzle Of New York.
But. although nearly every one owns
an umbrella, there arc but few manu-
facturers, in this country, and the ma
jority of these are in New York and
Philadelphia. There are about fifteen
factories here. and nearly the same
number in Philadelphia. One of those
in this city is said to turn out 10000
pieces Umbrellas and parasols) daily.
